Nisqually, Ferry Ride, Port Angeles, and Potty Talk

Nisqually Park:

A couple weekends ago we had some nice sun (but it was deceivingly cold!) and we went to another local park just 10 minutes from our house. The boys had a good time wearing off some energy and checking out a little wildlife. We saw...

DEER (they're actually in this pic but my focus was on Troy :) GEESE, DUCKS, and chubby SQUIRRELS

Gaggle of Geese

Just because I felt like taking a pic of this mushroom. Okay, Okay, Jer was watching a special on a National Geographic photographer the night before so I had a bug to take pictures of any and everything!

A nice passerby shared some peanuts with the boys so they could feed some squirrels... Troy was counting them.

Right after I told Troy not eat them since ''they're for the animals'' Brock came up to me saying, "nummm, nummm, nummm!" and pretended to eat em up!

Here he's in the middle of saying, "nummm"

This chunkers ran right up to us; grabbed some chow and was gone. He was so fast I wasn't sure I could get a pic of him!

They're doing the "Troy lips". Brock has recently learned he can do this look quite well himself.

Lookin for the deer

Saying "cheese" for me!

We almost made it back to the car before they both decided they couldn't walk any more. Good job mr. pack horse Jer!

Each time we go to Olympia and drive past this little joint, Jer mentions how much he wants to check it out. The boys wanted to go with him to get their hot dogs  after the park but since it's a window business I told them I'd take a pic and show them the hot dog stand since they couldn't see their dad. Those hot dogs didn't last long with my hungry boys!

Ferry ride to cross the sound to Port Angeles:

We went to Seattle to eat at a burger joint we saw on "Man v. Food" and afterwords decided to drive to Port Angeles. Which required a fun ferry ride to cross the sound!

Troy patiently waiting in the car for the ferry to show up.

Brock took a snooze while we waited

Heading on the ferry (probably can't tell we're from a "small" town!)

We made it! We've heard there's some pretty fun beaches around Port Angeles that we're planning on visiting this summer so we'll be back!

Checking out Canada at sunset

I LOVE these trees! I've noticed probably a handful of these here in Washington so I had to take a picture when we drove past this guy

And finally, Potty Talk. Brock doesn't like using the training seat and I'm afraid he's going to fall in when he has a "sit-down job to take care of". We've had some pretty good conversations while he's been on the white porcelain. One day he randomly grabbed my face like this and told me: "[When] I grow up I push the button in the mud on the big big big TRACTOR! And the ladder on the FIRE ENGINE! It go up, up, up, and I get the cat [from] on the tree! I push the button. And the garbage truck!"

Love that kid!
